Who Pitched the first shutout in Mn Twins opening day history?

Prielipp threw 80 pitches last game, which was a season high, hopefully they keep letting him push that number up. Seattle has a lot of lefties in their every-day lineup, could be a good chance for another strong outing.

Castillo hasn't been too sharp as of yet this season but I have a feeling he gets right tonight...

[Linus]

Not to nitpick but it’s “losing” streak. Might want to edit that.

There is a forecaster for fantasy baseball and he is typically accurate.  He thinks the game will play with a potential delay near the end of the game.

  Were  doomed  NO  Lewis and Martin 

[Parfigliano]

Hasn't been a Lewis showing up for about 21 months.

[Patzky]

Didn't you used to be Mitch Garver? (There I went ahead and jinxed us..)

[stringer bell]

Usual suspects in the lineup, except Tristan Gray for Lewis. Gray has been pretty good so far, so it is hard to be critical, but I still doubt he'll be able to sustain his good hitting.

[jaimedude]

I don't get the Lewis hatred with players Iike Clemmens and Wallner in the line-up? Why continue to bat Clemmens 5th in the order. He is showing zero power, very little contact,  zero hard hit balls and all the dude does is strike out or fly out. Shelton has shown extreme faith in Clemmens at 1st base when he really isn't a replacement level platoon hitter.  Clemmens and Wallner have been at the heart of this losing streak with the non-stop strikeouts with runners in scoring position. Definition of insanity to keep force feeding Clemmens at bats.  Clemmens is one of the worst hitters in all of MLB right now.

And he gets AB's over Martin, what does Martin have to do to get in the lineup.

I’m sure both fans who choose to attend will appreciate that.

Clemmons was never expected to be anything.  Lewis was advertised as a generational talent.

Lewis left the building (I DON'T DO SLUMPS) in Oakland in '24. The only way to be break the curse is to return to the Coliseum and hit a home run.

Sadly.. that will prove to be very difficult.

I think there is plenty of consternation directed at all the players you mentioned.

Riley Quick will be promoted to the Kernels, a quick ascension. Quick has an 0.00 ERA in 8 innings pitched so far for the Mussels.

I hope Shelton turns out to be a great manager but, Martin is healthy play him in the two spot behind Buxton. With the speed, power and on base potential, I think those two can do a lot of damage especially early in the game. I'm not understanding how Larnach, Wallner, and Clemens deserve at-bats over him. At this point play Martin in left, center, right, 2B, DH I dont care. He's hot don't mess with a good thing. 🤬 Sorry for the rant.

Find some secrets on Shelton and threaten to expose them if he doesn't play at least 4 times per week.

We always seems to find 1 diamond in the rough and gray could be that one this year ...

I don't care who it is , just wish we had more diamonds in the rough  , one diamond can't carry a team ...
